Since that day, a few more days have passed, and it is the Dragon Boat Festival.

On this morning, Zhao Siniang's family rushed to Zhaojia Village by mule cart after finishing the morning market in Zhaojiapu.

Originally, it was said that if he didn't return to Lao Zhao's house during the Dragon Boat Festival, he was angry, and even the only supporter, Zhao Yongzhong, was fooled.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven.

Li Cuiping's grandmother, Chen, contracted the wind chill when it was warm and cold, and she never got better. The family has always been worried about this, but no one expected that this minor illness would completely crush the old man's body, and now she is on the verge of dying. It's just that the old man still has a wish unfulfilled - how much she hopes to see her eldest granddaughter in her lifetime.

mentioned this marriage, which really made the Li family speechless and helpless.

You must know that Old Man Zhao once swore in front of hundreds of people that he would go to Li's house as soon as possible to discuss the rules of marriage. However, the Li family waited stupidly day after day, not to mention that they didn't see a single figure, and they didn't even get a message.

It is said that the man in Youzhou spits a nail, but this family member who was also a famous person when he was young doesn't know if he can't remember things when he is old, or if his nature is revealed, and what he says is not even as good as a fart.

Well, if the mountain doesn't come to me, I'll go to the mountain. In desperation, the Li family had to abandon the woman's reserve and boarded the door of the Zhao family again.

However, according to Zhao Yongxiao, who came to ask for help yesterday, the Li family has come to the door several times in the past few days to ask for a marriage in the near future, but the old Zhao family is always sloppy, and they just refuse to give a quasi-letter.

Hearing this, Zhao Yongzhong and his wife, who are brothers and sisters-in-law, resolutely decided to take advantage of the festival to go back and talk to Old Man Zhao, striving to fulfill the old man's last wish and not let it become his last wish.

Thinking about it with his toes, he also knew that the old Zhao family refused to agree immediately, and must have wanted to exchange the marriage for benefits. In this case, the loyal and honest Zhao Yongzhong and his wife are tantamount to sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and they will definitely be bitten hard. Thus. Although Zhao Sanniang and the others were reluctant, they gritted their teeth and followed. Not only that, when passing through Changle Town, I also brought Zhao Yuanniang's mother and daughter who wanted to help lobby.

Now Zhao Yuanniang's mother and daughter live in the shop in the town. They opened a pastry shop on the second floor of the shop. Because of the exquisite materials and exquisite workmanship, and the fact that her family sells a variety of extremely innovative dim sum and sweets in addition to traditional pastries, which are said to be from Ningguo, the shop has been popular with the townspeople since it opened. The only drawback is the lack of manpower. Although the guys hired by the tofu factory will come over every day to help with some chores, the only ones who can really make pastries are Zhao Yuanniang's mother and daughter, and they are really limited, and they are in short supply every day.

"Huh? Auntie, didn't you say that the pastry shop is the same as the tofu shop today, and it won't open? Why do I smell the pastry again? Zhao Shilang searched around, glanced at the food box he had just picked up in the car, and asked with a swallow.

It is no wonder that Zhao Yuanniang's pastry shop has a good business, but whenever her family's dim sum is baked, the whole street is filled with bursts of sweet fragrance. It's just an adult. The child almost didn't resist it, no, Zhao Shilang's gluttony was hooked out.

The depression in Zhao Sanniang's heart was nowhere to go, so she said angrily: "Are you embarrassed to ask, do you eat too little dim sum from your aunt's house?" Forget about the past, you can stop me a little now, so that I don't have to talk to people plainly. Tsk, that one is still waiting on the kang with his mouth open! "If it's not open, I specially built a stove to make snacks, which is unknown. Because there is an old man in the family who wants to eat!

"Sanniang, next time, it's not allowed to be big or small. Your grandmother is an elder, how can you say that about her? Zhao Yongzhong taught his daughter.

Zhao Sanniang pretended to be naïve and said: "Huh? Did I mention our milk? I'm talking about gluttonous patients. Why do you think of our milk when you mention "gluttony"? Do you think our milk is too greedy? ”

In fact. Zhao Yongzhong really felt that his mother was too gluttonous. In the past, when Zhao Chengqing was not married, their mother and son always asked Zhao Yongnian to buy snacks from the town and go back. Although they were sneaky, there were too many times, and even Zhao Yongzhong, who was a little sluggish, noticed it. However, at that time, he thought it was Zhao Chengqing's gluttony. Who knew that when Zhao Chengqing got married, his mother took advantage of Zhao Yongxiao to work in the tofu workshop downstairs of the pastry shop. Just see the sky and let Zhao Yongxiao wrap the pastries and go back. That's not all, after eating a round of pastries in the shop, his mother ate exquisitely, not only specifying the varieties every day, but also asking for sugar and ingredients, and there was no time to stop.

However, no matter how greedy his mother is, she is also his mother, and if she can maintain it, she must maintain it to the end.

Zhao Yongzhong opened his mouth and wanted to defend a few words, but unfortunately he was so stupid that he was squeezed by his second daughter and had nothing to say. Fortunately, he was in a hurry, and the others couldn't see his extremely embarrassed expression.

Zhao Qiao's family is so noisy, is it really because of gluttony? Zhao Siniang doesn't think so.

In Zhao Siniang's opinion, once the soft persimmon that has been held for 20 years leaves, Zhao Qiaoshi will definitely be unwilling. So he wanted to manipulate Song remotely in this way, so as to satisfy his desire for control.

Seeing the thoughtful Song take out a small bag of pre-prepared pastries from the corner of the food box and hand it to Zhao Silang, Zhao Siniang couldn't help but turn her head and exchange glances with Zhao Yuanniang, and the two of them thought in unison, let Zhao Qiaoshi jump for a while! If this trip goes well, there will not be much intersection with the old Zhao family in the future.

Seeing that Zhao Shilang took the pastry but didn't eat it immediately, the Song family carefully hid it in his pocket, and said with a smile: "Good boy, don't be reluctant!" You just have to eat with your belly open. It's inconvenient at this time, and when you come back in the morning, your aunt will make you a basket to bring back. Dim sum is a thing, the sooner you eat it, the better, and it won't be so fragrant if you leave it for a long time. ”

Zhao Shilang saw that his aunt saw through his own small movements, his little face turned red, and he whispered: "I, I'm not ......"

The fast-talking Zhao Sanniang couldn't get used to the stupid appearance of the little brother, and said: "Auntie, he doesn't want to eat by himself!" Nine out of nine are going to be sent to please his little sister! ”

It turned out that Zhao Siniang arranged for someone to send Yuan Chunhua to the hospital that day, and she was careful and asked the Yuan sisters and brothers to follow together, but she didn't want Zhao Silang to take Xiaobai to quietly touch the car.

Zhao Shilang, who is a little stupid on weekdays, is not stupid this time, seeing that the Yuan brothers and sisters are so sad that they can't be directors, they take care of various matters alone in the medical hall, and they are actually arranged by him in an orderly manner.

After learning that Yuan Chunhua's life was not in danger, Zhao Shilang did not let her send her back to Jiangjiatan, so he directly sent his little sister to the shop in the town to recuperate.

Zhao Shilang, who has to report every day these days, thinks that there are too many people today. Only then couldn't help but go to visit Yuan Chunhua in front of everyone.

When Song heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Silly child, she is resting at our house, and she can't eat anything she lacks." You might as well keep this snack for yourself! ”

"That's a different ......"

Zhao Shilang's muttering was not heard by anyone. Because everyone else was attracted by the fugitives on the side of the road.

I saw that the family fleeing the famine was all ragged and blue-faced. The man in the prime of life and his mother-in-law were burdened with an elderly man and a child under the age of ten respectively. The old and the young hung their heads unconsciously, and they didn't know whether they were asleep or starving. Behind the man was an old woman over half a hundred years old, staggering forward with a wooden stick in her hand. Besides. Another slightly older child was walking with his eyes half-closed, leading the corner of the man's clothes and walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow, both gray-faced and no longer able to see men and women. However, the child was dressed neater than the rest of the family, and was a teenage girl. It's just that although the girl can still walk on the ground, she looks shaky, and no one knows if she will fall to the ground in the next moment.

When Jiang found that under the woman's tattered clothes, a high bulging belly actually appeared between walking. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I picked up a few skewers of meat dumplings and jumped out of the car. The careful Song picked out some easy-to-restrain pastries from the food box and followed.

According to the family, who claimed to have fled from the border city of Youzhou, they have not had a full meal since their home was hit by the disaster. They fled all the way to the desert without relatives, and they didn't know how many white eyes they encountered. I didn't expect to meet such a good person today......

In the family's gratitude, Zhao Yuanniang and Zhao Siniang couldn't help but glance at each other, and both of them saw full of suspicion in each other's eyes.

Zhao Yuanniang once mentioned to Zhao Siniang that when he was young, there was a major earthquake at the junction of Yan and Yuan. Youzhou is located in the northern border of Yan Kingdom. The earthquake affected many towns and cities under Youzhou's rule, among which the border city was one of the hardest hit areas.

It is said that the devastation of the earthquake was so devastating that the paradise of peace became a living hell in an instant. Although the disaster occurred during the day, many people who were outdoors were able to escape. Countless families were wiped out, and tens of thousands of people had to flee their homes.

Of course, those who have relatives and friends elsewhere go to seek refuge with relatives and friends, but there are also those who have no relatives and no reason, so what should I do?

Although the Youzhou government tried every possible way to exploit it, and the imperial court did not send people to come over for disaster relief, the people under the rule still had simple beliefs. I think the government will be able to save them from fire and water.

As a result, many people with nihilistic beliefs dragged their families and mouths, helped the old and the young, and flocked to the capital city of Youzhou together. If it weren't for the fact that Yanjing was too far away, the victims would go directly to Beijing if they wanted to come - the true dragon emperor would definitely protect them, wouldn't he?

In this era, transportation was inconvenient, and most of the victims could only walk, so it was more than a month after the disaster occurred, and the victims fled here.

The timing is good, but the route is a little strange. You must know that the border city they are talking about is in the northwest of Youzhou Prefecture, and although Jinghai County is under the rule of Youzhou Prefecture, it is in the southeast corner of the prefecture city, which is a small county by the river and the sea. If Jinghai is rich, it would be easy to say, but looking at the entire Youzhou Mansion, who doesn't know that Jinghai has been crying poor since the ban on the sea? Not to mention the capital city, even the counties in the northwest are now far richer than Jinghai, is it necessary to escape the famine here? What's going on with this family, they don't care about such a big thing as escaping from the famine, and they can still admit the wrong way!

No matter how you think about it, it's a problem! According to Zhao Yuanniang's recollection, in her previous life, she only heard about the disaster, and no one fled to the vicinity of Zhaojia Village that year.

Although the family is so stupid that people feel suspicious, they didn't leave the old man behind in such a predicament, which shows that they are kind in nature. So, Zhao Siniang took the initiative to take out a few strings of money to entangle them.

Zhao Siniang kindly pointed them out the correct way to escape from the famine, but this family, who obviously spoke with a strong foreign accent, asked her if there was a small village called Chen Liutan nearby?

What kind of place is that? Don't say that Zhao Siniang, an outsider, doesn't know, even the Song family and other locals who have lived here all their lives have never heard of it.

"Master, are you mistaken? Along the way, no one knows this Chen Liutan? The man asked.

"Can't be wrong, your master and I will never forget this Chen Liutan for the rest of my life! In order to treat your father's illness, I sold your aunt to a fishing boat by the river. It was also a family that could not be poorer, and it did not even have a house on land. But people said that their family still has eight points of ancestral property in Chenliutan, and they will definitely not starve your aunt to death. I'm relieved to put you in ...... Alas, it was a drought in the past, but now it is a moving earth...... Retribution, this is the retribution of selling a girl! The old man who had just woken up from his slumber recovered a little after using some snacks, but at the mention of this "Chen Liu Tan", his eyes dimmed a lot.

"In my opinion, don't look for 'Chen Liutan'. Let's take the money and find a place to settle down first! In any case, it is important to give birth to the child first. Jiang persuaded.

"I'm dying, before I die, I want to go to Chen Liutan to take a look and see if she's still there, is it okay......" The tears flowing from the old man's cloudy eyes slammed heavily on the yellow earth, leaving one small pit after another, which seemed to be full of his remorse.

The big man stretched out his hand to wipe his tears, and said with a forced smile: "We have received the kindness of the eldest sister, but this is my grandfather's wish for a lifetime, and I have to help him complete it as a junior." ”

Zhao Siniang sighed in her heart, it was really embarrassing to have such an old man in the family who couldn't be flexible and admit death, so she took out two more strings of money. After thinking about it, he instructed them to look for it along the Jingjiang River. As far as she knows, there are many "beaches" on both sides of the Jingjiang River, and Jiangjiatan is one of them, but there is no Chen Liu Beach.

The kind-hearted family all greeted the family, but Zhao Yuanniang sat motionless in the car, and her thoughts had already drifted into the distance.

Is it because the ground is moving this time? The granges that the Xiao family added will all be destroyed. After losing the most important livelihood, those people would return to Lao Zhao's house as a last resort. In the previous life, the two of them thought that they had come to the bitter end, and when they saw that person finally returning, they cried with joy, who knew that they had led the wolf into the house......

Zhao Yuanniang had a sour nose for a while, turned her head to look at the vibrant Song family, and felt that life was still very beautiful.

After thinking about it, in fact, this time the earth moved, the disaster of Yan Kingdom was still limited, and Yuan Kingdom was considered to be a great injury. In order to get out of the predicament, this barbaric country actually extended its claws to its neighbors, and countless sons and daughters of the Yan Kingdom died under the iron horses of the Yuan Kingdom...... But by then, he will be back!

Zhao Yuanniang gently stroked the golden lotus seeds on her wrist, and the pear vortex appeared slightly, revealing a shallow smile. (To be continued.) )
